Absolutely gorgeous!

“Fabric is soft and comfortable! Nice and lightweight for a summer wedding guest dress. The fit is also phenomenal! Length is perfect and the stretchy material around the waist and bust is very comfortable.”

— Marissa A. (5/5)

Beautiful dress

“Such a beautiful dress! It fit great and even length wise. It fit perfect. With a little heel and I think I’ll be good to go”

Best Dressed- this is THE Dress!

“This is THE Dress. I had a vision of a light blue tiered dress with off-the-shoulder neckline and found this dress at the last minute at Nordstrom. I were this for a garden wedding and got more compliments on the stress than I have ever had in my entire life. I had people yelling out the window of their cars complimenting me on the street. It is incredibly flattering for women who aren’t perfectly proportionate. You do not need any Spanx, it’s stretchy and checks all of the boxes if you’re looking to feel beautiful.”

Love Love Love

“This dress is gorgeous. Fit was true to size but just a little shorter than I’d like, but I am tall. It’s well made with a thick lining, so it’s wasm enough to wear in early spring or late autumn. The colour is a little more yellow than the photo, but suits my pale complexion perfectly. Love it.”

Lovely dress

“It is adorable. For the larger chested ladies, it is a little bit difficult to find a bra that works but it is very cute.”

10/10 best purchase I made

“Out of 14 dresses (purchased else where) this was the only one that fit me. It’s comfortable, it’s beautiful, it’s fun & it was perfect for the tropical formal event that we went to.Few things to note, it’s fully smocked all the way around. (Perfect if you’re freshly postpartum like me, or between sizes) The straps are more for decoration than support. They are elastic straps. I found a yellow balconette bra from target that that I ended up wearing underneath. I’m busty and still nursing so I needed the support. Because the dress itself is heavy, I noticed it would “fall” slightly making my bra visible under my arms. Truly not a big deal to me. The middle of the busty ruffle is also completely unattached, so there was 100% a peak-a-boo moment with my bra but I honestly don’t think anyone noticed, I’m short enough that my boobs we’re eye level to anyone. This is the second formal dress I’ve purchased freshly postpartum from petal & pup & I plan to buy agin for our next event.Only thing I wish I had done differently was purchase the more peachy version of this dress. However I’m still very pleased with my purchase!”

Love!

“So beautiful. Obviously needs a steam but it is very comfortable. I’m 5’4” and this dress in Large is floor length on me without being too long. Pic is without heels. Very stretchy but I still feel supported in it. I’m 15 wks pregnant and plan to wear to a wedding when I’m 22 and 27wks and i have no concern with it fitting me.Two things: the peekaboo is large and shows my bra. I will be sewing it shut halfway up to ensure you can’t, because even if I tie it tighter, my boobs don’t allow it to shut. Also this dress up top is not supportive enough FOR ME to wear without a bra, but thankfully the straps and ruffles make it so bra straps are not noticable. I love it!”

Perfect spring/summer dress

“I heard about petal and pup through social media and decided to give it a try. They have really cute options to choose from and I decided to try the yellow and pink floral belle maxi dress. I’m 5’4” around 125 pounds and got a small but probably could have sized down to an xs because this dress has a lot of stretch. None the less it still fits and I plan on wearing it to a wedding this spring!”
